At the gathering, on behalf of the former students, Senior Lieutenant General Nguyen Truong Thang, Member of the Party Central Committee, Member of the Central Military Commission, Deputy Minister of National Defense, expressed his profound gratitude to generations of teachers and emphasized: Although the time of study at the school was short, the friendships and comradeship left many memories in the hearts of the cadets. In any circumstances, teachers and students of the school remained steadfast, united in the same direction, caring for and loving one another like their own family members. They supported and helped one another overcome hardships and deprivations to fulfill teaching and learning missions. Every generation of cadets is ready to devote their youth whenever the Fatherland and people need. The cadets are “red seeds” who live up to the trust of the Party, the army, and the people, with many becoming senior military officers and leaders of the army and administration.
